http://www.wizarduniverse.com/021708nytfdcuniverse.html T-crotches and no swivel biceps! Yay! Plus female figures that look like blow-up dolls. Good for parts, not much else IMO. I was hopeful, but I'm sticking with DCUC (take a look at that Cyborg and Wonder Woman for DCUC Woot.) |

3 3/4" Green Arrow? Also WIN! Pretty good toyfair from my perspective, though I'd obviously like these to have slightly better articulation, I can live with it. |

Pretty much what I expected out of Mattel. Well actually a little better since the over all sculpt isn't bad, but the articulation sucks. It's the same old BS that Mattel keeps pushing. I guess I shouldn't put them down so much since Hasbro keeps doing the same to Star Wars figures even though they'll make a few that has hip articulation that's useable. Many of those DC figures they're showing are straight out sculpted prototypes that hasn't had the articulation worked in. I'll get a few and try and rework them. If it proves easy enough I'll get more and convert those too. Bring them into the modern age of action figure technology. |

Crap, I was looking at those police figures thinking it'll be cool when they add the articulation in. I figured all I'd need to do is make their arms swivel and have a full range hip joint. Nope, Mattel decided to just drop the joints that I guess were too hard for their lack of abilities: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/wizardun ... tfdcu1.jpg I may still get them if the price point isn't bad. I can do all the other joints too, it'll just take me longer to get around to it. |

Whoa... I missed 3 3/4" Question down the page (since Wizard's "thumbnails" seem to be the full huge-assed pic just visually resized on the page instead of a proper thumbnail). |

The GCPD guys in the three pack have the same articulation as the rest of the line. The elbows and knees are tougher to see, but they're there. |

Great sculpts, right scale, TERRIBLE articulation. Typical Mattel. What will it take to bring those guys into the 21st Century? 1978 was a REALLY long time ago guys! Not a DC fan, but I'll be picking up a few of these for parts anyway. |

Is that guy in the green and purple with the gas mask supposed to be someone? Or is he a henchman? Because his design is badass! |

Hehe, someone stuck nipples on Supergirl. That one's kind of a horrible sculpt.... I guess they figured they do something to keep you from looking at the face? |

Swivel biceps should be basic articulation on figures by now, sheesh! Cool looking figures though. |

Well all I could load was three immages (WW, Gordon, and the one with black adam and original fash) and I have to say I like them, not perfect by any stretch but they look good enough to own for me. |

Wow! Those are some crappy looking figures  I really hope the finished figures look better than these prototypes. |

Will be picking up a few. Probably not all, but still some nice characters there. As long as they're not $7-8 a piece. |

Most of the sculpts look great. If they all wind up with wonder womens articulation I'll pick alot of them up. Some of those future cop/henchmen designs are awesome. |
